GOING ON VACATION BUT STILL "UNDER CONSTRUCTION!"

We are leaving on our vacation very soon, and I just wanted to get in a few words to all you wonderful bloggers before we left! I added a new lamp to my blog (check it out below) and a picture of our 1956 T-Bird at our car club's recent July 4th Car Show. It's such a cute car, I love to ride in it with the top off! Roger takes it out whenever he can! Well, we are headed down South to visit family and friends and when we return I'll be posting some new pictures and hopefully finish the construction on my blog! I've been so busy with work and the car show and other things, that I haven't been able to get it done.

However, remember the project I had painting my kitchen table and chairs? Well, they are finally DONE! I painted them an off-white, and made new cushions for the chairs, using the floral needlepoints I found yard-saleing. So what do you think?

You all have a great two weeks, I know I will (I get to see my grandkids! Yee Haa!)

Hi Marilyn -I love your chairs. They are so nice - just right! Maybe one of these days I'll get to your part of our state. We're trying to work out something with family near you. Hopefully it won't be while you're away.

Have a safe and wonderful trip. Can't wait to see what you have to share when you're back.

(I'm still working on my room where the lamp will be. It's in here but not ready to show the rest of the world yet. This is the last room to get finished.)~Adrienne~

WELCOME TO THE CUTEST COTTAGE LAMPS!

Hi, my name is Marilyn and I make and sell lamps, lamp shades and also I paint and fire reproduction half dolls to make into finials for your lampshades. My favorite style is a "cottage or shabby" look; although I have done plain white or even hawaiian, mission, or other styles. Each is a one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted by me (nothing done by little hands in China, where they make thousands of the same things, so that everybody has the same one you do!) No - not here! Nobody will have a lamp like yours! All my lamps and shades are completed both outside and inside, with the finest quality materials; and great care taken in making them. I usually use old frames, vintage lamp bases, vintage materials and embellishments. Please email me if you are interested in any of the lamps or shades you see below or if you would like something specific. I also have other lamps not pictured. And, I would appreciate any comments or suggestions! My email address is: RMBROGG@msn.com Thank you for stopping by to see me today!
